Trib: Where are the Idaho Democrats?
Idaho Democrats have about two months to field candidates to challenge Sen. Mike Crapo and Congressmen Raul Labrador and Mike Simpson. No names have emerged. Expect to hear some grumbling about that. After all, what is the point of running a political party if you can't offer the voters an alternative choice in the next election? There's also the fact that the national Republican Party seems determined to blow up on the tarmac. Say Donald Trump emerges as the GOP's presidential nominee. Or it's Sen. Ted Cruz. Even if the ultimate nominee is a more centrist figure, he will preside over a Republican Party that is severely fractured and alienated from the vast majority of voters. For Democrats, the opportunities seem undeniable. Idaho Republicans might stay home in November while the enthused Democratic base is mobilized/Marty Trillhaase, Lewiston Tribune. More here.
